brown silk. At the station a special
train had been run back nearly TO the
entrance of the building. An ordinary
car had been attached for the accom-
mediation of railroad and train men,
which was to be detached at Baltimore.
at that city the cars, which at the start
were headed by palace car, had to be
reversed so as to bring the observation
compartment in the rear. The train
looked handsome in its new paint and
glistening bronze. Through the plate
glass windows could be seen baskets of
flowers. From the waiting rooms
a curious crowd eyed the train and
every member of the party as they
arrived. Marshal Wilson was early at
the depot. He was followed by Score
tarv Fairchild. Colonel and Mrs.
Lamont, with their two children arrived
next and went Immediately to the train.

coded the Presidential party by few
minutes. DR.. Bryant and Mr.. Bissell
had already arrived and taken their
places in the train. Ats $50 the Presi
dent made his appearance at the
station. He was escorted by Marshal
Wilson. Mrs. Cleveland and her mother
came next and the maid followed them.
Quite crowd of newspaper men. rail-
road officials and other privileged per-
sons had been admitted to the platform.
Most of them raised their hats and
salutes were returned by the party.
Secretary and Miss Bayard hurried up
at this moment and boarded the train
with the President and Mrs. Cleveland.
Engine 46, in charge of Engineer Frank
Carver, had just backed down and
coupled on to the train, which was
under the direction of Conductor G. A.

train moved off on its long journey.

Dental train reached Baltimore an hour
and ten minutee after leaving Wash
ington. The announcement that the
party would arrive, had attracted about
1000 persons, fully one half of whom
were ladies. AS soon as the train
stopped, the President and Mrs. CIeve-
land were seen about the centre of the
car. He sat near the window, and to
request to 60 on the platform, shook his
head. At Ills, sharp signal for the
departure was given, and the train
pulled out. There was no demonstra-
lion by the people assembled at the sta
ton.
